Back pain in overhead athletes isn’t random… 🎾

It’s usually a load management problem, not just a “tight back” problem.

Here are some of the biggest risk factors we see in clinic:
⚡ High mechanical loads through the lumbar spine
🔁 Repetitive extension + rotation under load
💪 Insufficient strength to tolerate demand
🧠 High stress / poor recovery / mental load
😴 Performing under fatigue
🎾 Sudden changes in equipment or training load

Your back isn’t fragile — it’s responding to what you’re asking of it.

If you’re a tennis player or overhead athlete dealing with niggles, early intervention matters.

Ever noticed how an injury can change the way you move? 🤔

When something hurts — like an ankle sprain — your body instinctively adjusts your movement to protect the injured area. You might limp or shift your weight without even realising it. This helps reduce pain in the short term, but those altered movement patterns can sometimes stick around even after the injury has healed.

Our sports physio Eric Huang explains that over time, this can place extra load on other parts of the body — like the knee, hip, or back — which may eventually lead to new pain or injuries.

Physiotherapy focuses on identifying these altered movement patterns and helping you restore efficient, balanced movement so your body isn’t compensating unnecessarily.

🌿 EDS & HSD Awareness Month 🌿

Did you know one of the most common (and often overlooked) symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) is chronic fatigue?

This isn’t just “feeling tired” — it’s a persistent, whole-body exhaustion that can impact daily life, movement, and recovery.

💡 Understanding fatigue is key to better management:
✔️ Pacing your activity
✔️ Prioritising recovery
✔️ Building strength in a sustainable way

If you’re struggling with fatigue, you’re not alone — and the right support can make a big difference.

📩 Get in touch with our team to learn how we can help you manage symptoms and move with more confidence.

NEW BLOG ALERT!

You feel tight… so you stretch.
And for a moment it helps.

But then the stiffness comes back 😵‍💫

If you’re hypermobile, this cycle probably feels familiar — and frustrating. Because what you’re feeling isn’t always “tight tissues”…

It’s often something else entirely: a protective tension strategy from your nervous system.

This is what we call the Hypermobile Person’s Paradox:
👉 lots of movement available
👉 but a constant feeling of restriction and stiffness

In our latest blog, we break down:
🧠 Why you feel tight (even when you’re not)
🔄 The role of proprioception + “sensorimotor blur”
🦴 Why the hip is often the epicentre
💡 What actually helps (and what stretching misses)

If you’ve been stretching endlessly with little lasting change — this one’s for you.

Pulled something during training? Had that sudden “uh-oh” moment mid-game? 👀

How you manage an injury in the first few days can make a huge difference to how quickly you recover.
Early physiotherapy can help:
✔️ Reduce the extent of tissue damage
✔️ Speed up your return to sport
✔️ Lower your risk of reinjury

At PhysioTec, we commonly treat acute sports injuries including:
• Muscle strains
• Acute tendon injuries
• Ligament sprains
• Acute joint overload
• Bone stress injuries

The sooner you address the problem, the sooner you can get back to doing what you love. 🏃‍♂️

📩 Book early if something doesn’t feel right.

🚴‍♂️ When should you get your hip checked?

If you’re noticing 👇
• Pain lasting >2 weeks
• Pain worsening as you increase riding
• Pain lingering after rides (or disturbing sleep)
• Clicking, locking or catching in the hip
• Pain now affecting walking or running

That’s your sign. 🚩

The earlier you address it, the easier it is to settle, especially when bike setup is part of the problem.

A thorough assessment at PhysioTec Physiotherapy can help you ride comfortably again.

Don’t just push through it.

❌ Knee Osteoarthritis MYTH
“Surgery is required for all cases of osteoarthritis”

The truth?❗
X-rays and scans don’t always tell the full story. The degree of meniscal or cartilage damage doesn’t automatically mean surgery is needed. Pain, function, and personalised management matter most.

Ageing is a natural part of life, but it doesn’t have to mean losing your strength, balance, or independence. Regular exercise is one of the most powerful tools to support your body as it changes.

💪 Strength training maintains muscle and bone health, protects joints, and helps with everyday tasks like climbing stairs or lifting groceries. Balance and mobility exercises reduce your risk of falls and keep you moving confidently. Cardiovascular activity strengthens your heart and lungs, while also improving stamina and lowering the risk of chronic disease.

As our sports physio, Tyler Cultum explains, exercise also benefits your mental health, boosting mood, memory, and cognition, plus, group classes offer social connection, which is great for overall wellbeing. Even simple, consistent movement can help you feel stronger, more stable, and more independent.

Want help staying active as you age? Book an assessment with Tyler at PhysioTec.

🚴‍♂️ Not all bike fits are created equal.

A physio-led Bike Fit at PhysioTec Physiotherapy means we assess the rider first, bike second 👇
• Strength + control
• Mobility + joint range
• Past injuries
• Load tolerance

Then we dial in:
• Saddle height & setback
• Reach & drop
• Cleat position
• Hip & knee angles

Plus, you leave with a clear plan (not just measurements).

With clinical insight influenced by hip pain researcher Alison Grimaldi, we look beyond comfort and address the why behind your pain.

Fit the body. Then fit the bike. 🚴‍♀️
